WTK: Benjamin Model 110 Air Pistol
Re: WTK: Benjamin Model 110 Air Pistol
There are collectors. That really goes back.... It should have leather washers in the pressure pump, which called for occasional oiling. Any old oil may be pretty hard now, and it may not make pressure sufficient to drive the pellet. You levered it open, so, thankfully, it isn't frozen.
The rear sight seems pretty far right. Is it just loose, or is that what's needed to zero it? If so, the barrel may be bent. The photo suggests it is bent from squeezing the barrel and pump body. That may be a photograph anomaly. Pretty cool acquisition! :)
I have a .22 model purchased in 1954/55. Still works. .177 is a better caliber...faster pellet.

Thank You for the reply. The barrel is not bent. It is straight. I just moved the rear sight to the left using my hand with very little pressure.

I bought mine from ebay a long time ago for 50.00
It came with the original box and pellets. I had the seals
replaced by a company in pa that specifically worked on benjamin stuff,
cant remember the name though.
I use mine for the rodents out back eating out of the trashcans.
I only use one pump just to scare them. 10 pumps it hits pretty hard.

My Blue Book of Airguns is an older 6th edition. It lists the models 110, 112, 117 as being made from 1938-1941. A 100% pistol is valued at $175 and 80% condition at $110. Add 25% if you have the box and instruction sheet. BTW, the 110 is listed as more valuable than the 130 series (including 132 and 137). The basic difference in the models is the smooth bore if for BBs, rifled for 17 caliber and 22 caliber pellets.
